The use of base editing in stem-cell based therapies

Drug Discovery World

Kevin Hemphill, R&D Manager at PerkinElmer’s Horizon Discovery explores how base editing has emerged as an attractive gene editing option for researchers wanting to develop stem cell-based therapies. Adult fibroblasts were cultured in a cocktail of transcription factors to reactivate embryonic gene expression patterns 2.

Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

These modifications regulate gene expression without changing the sequence or structure of DNA. The CRISPR gene editing system consists of the Cas9 enzyme, which serves as molecular scissors to cleave double-stranded DNA, and a guide RNA template targeted to a specific genomic sequence, which allows for precise editing.
